The following standards are currently at ballot by NISO voting members. All standards at ballot are available for public review and comment through the end of the ballot period. Comment online at http://www.niso.org/contact/.

More information about balloting can be found in the NISO Operating Procedures.

In order for an item to be approved so that a Working Group can be formed to pursue the proposed work, a minimum of 10% of NISO's Voting Members must express interest in a new work item. All those who express interest will be added to the Voting Pool for the proposal. Members can join the Voting Pool at any time up until the final ballot at the end of the project.

Standards Undergoing Five Year Reviews (2011)

The following published and approved NISO standards will begin the five-year review process in 2011. Voting pools for these standards will open shortly; if fifteen percent (15%) or more of the membership joins the Voting Pool and balance requirements are met, reviews will then be conducted in order to provide a recommendation for action to accompany the review ballots. If less than 15% of the membership joins the Voting Pool, the Board may initiate procedures for an administrative withdrawal. See  the NISO Operating Procedures for more information.
